k. & J. FARQUHAR & COS SEED CATALOGUE. 
SEEDS POST-PAID BY MAIL. We send seeds /ree of fostage to any part of the United 
States at ounce or packet prices. All heavy seeds, such as peas, beans, corn, clover, roots, 
tubers, etc , we do not send free, as such are quoted at net prices at our store. If these are 
desired by mail, purchasers are requested to remit an additional sum for postage at the rate of 
eight cents per pound or fifteen cents per quart. We bestow great care in parceling mail orders, 
and send thousands of them every year. 
Write Orders Upon the Blank Form Sent. No matter how small the order, cus- 
tomers will please use and return the whole blank. This greatly facilitates our work. More 
blanks will be supplied, if needed. 
Please Send Orders Early. It is very important that you send your orders as early as 
possible on receipt of this catalogue. Delay at the sowing season is thereby prevented. 
Prices, Terms, Etc. As prices of some varieties of seeds will doubtless vary during the 
year we beg to assure purchasers that ours shall be at all times as low as any for seeds of like 
good quality. Quotations, with samples, will be cheerfully given for such variable articles as 
grass and clover seeds, onion sets, etc. Our terms of payment are net cash. 
Liberal Premium on Seeds in Packets. When the order is accompanied by the 
money, purchasers of seeds in packets at catalogue prices may select 25 cents worth extra 
packets for each $1.00 sent. Thus, any one enclosing $1.00 may order seeds in packets 
amounting to $1.25. Two dollars sent us with the order will pay for seeds in packets 
amounting to $2.50, and soon. This offer does not include seeds in collections, by weight or 
measure, bulbs, plants, or anything excepting seeds in packets. : 
Seeds by Weight and Measure. Except where otherwise priced, one-fourth bushel 
will be sold at bushel rates; one-half pound at pound rates; fifty at one hundred rates. The 
smallest quantity of seeds we weigh is ro cents value, but 5-cent packets of almost all common 
varieties can be had. 
Cloth Bags, used in packing, are charged at the following rates: 4% bushel, eight cents; 
¥% bushel, ten cents; 1 bushel, fifteen cents; 2 bushels, twenty cents. If returned, clean, and 
in good condition, and free of expense, they will be credited as charged. In remitting for 
seeds by the peck and over, please add a sum to cover cost of the necessary bags. 
Situations for Gardeners and Farmers. Parties requiring the services of reliable 
men, married or single, will do well to consult with us, as we have the names of a number on 
our register, thoroughly experienced in every branch of the business. No compensation is 
received for our services as we are glad to help our customers when in want of foremen, assist- 
ants, etc. We have by far the largest acquaintance among gardeners of any firm in New 
England, and it is very seldom that any gentleman or lady who applies to us fails of getting 
the right party. 
Kindly send us a list of your friends who use Seeds and Bulbs, and we will be pleased 
to mail them our Catalogues. Our new Bulb Catalogue will be ready in September, and as we
